This site has been neglected for far too long due to a combination of circumstances. I will try to resist the temptation to delete significant parts, so although not much in the way of content is set to change (editing out the pointless stuff will come later), the coding and structure of both the site and pages needs serious attention paying to it.

Due to numerous hardware failures/changes some of the old colour scheme needs to be retained at least for the short-term as I will not be able to locate some of the source files until I search through a myriad of drives and CDs.

As big changes are to take place in the structure of the site and I have set up automatic redirects, if (when) you find you come across an error page, please check the Site Map for an updated link. If you still do not find it, then it is either temporarily lost or has gone forever. I can only be contacted via the forum for the time being.

I have replaced the old (big and animated) link images with a choice of 88px × 31px versions. More to be added when I am feeling creative…

We have some pictures of a prototype large scale model car magnetic differential made and kindly submitted by Ian Oddie to accompany a post made by him in the forum.

We have expanded our entries in our frequency listings to include the USA. There is also a PDF file available for download.

There are many springs used on radio controlled model cars, but all are variations on a few basic types. In this article we show examples of the most common ones and give details of how they work.
